March&April Data Digest

We're getting back to you with our machine learning recommendations and news. This month we brought you a lot of reading, with both scholar and media articles: some research news, a couple of stories about natural language processing, and a selection of reviews on machine learning application in industry.

Research&Optimization

European scientists created a model that detects forged videos. The model trained on the dataset of half a million images from fake videos produced with the face2face algorithm

A review of hyperparameters influence on Random Forest predictions with the outline of the model-based optimization strategy (MBO) for the most established fine-tuning

Natural Language Processing

XiaoIce, Microsoft’s social chatbot in China, implements "full duplex" (a term that refers to the ability to communicate in both directions simultaneously), which leads to a more natural conversation with the bot

ML Application

A navigation simulator from DeepMind team that learns its surroundings with pixelated Google Street View images database - just like a person who relies on visual information to get familiar with the new environment
